The snapdragon’s tale: Evolutionary paths to species diversity

Where: Royal Institution

When: 21^st November, 7.00pm

Info: Every species seems beautifully adapted to its way of life, so why do species ever change? In this year’s Genetics Society JBS Haldane Lecture, Enrico Coen will discuss how studying the snapdragon flower and its wild relatives is providing fresh answers. He will show how genes and environment interact to drive populations to explore new evolutionary paths.
